The Wagholi police registered a case against an unidentified woman under Section 94 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The baby's body was found behind the VTP Kohinoor construction site in Manjari, according to Senior Police Inspector Nandkumar Gaikwad. The discovery is believed to have occurred between 10 to 15 days prior. A fishing boatman discovered the baby's body and alerted the police, leading to the retrieval of the infant. Initial reports classified the case as the discovery of an unidentified dead infant, but suspicions arose due to the potential concealment of the birth and subsequent disposal of the newborn.
